WORK IT OUT: Managing Current Workplace Risks Associated with Substance Abuse
Recognizing the need to manage risks associated with substance abuse isn't new for most companies. But keeping current with new risks -- marijuana legalization, prescription (Rx) drug abuse and our county's heroin epidemic, and the increasing number of applicants and employees who are failing drug tests - can be a challenge. Allison Sharer, Senior Trainer at Working Partners®, will explore these new trends and share information about how companies can best respond.

Rx drug/heroin abuse
Increased rates of positive tests
Legalized marijuana
Describe how these three trends impact workplace operations
